I set up a contract with three files referring to Token Factory.
I make a test on remix online tool, they can be successfully compiled.
when I'm tring to compile them by solc module in a .js file, got an error saying "TypeError: Cannot read property 'TestToken.sol' of undefined"
> for (var contractName in output.contracts['TestToken.sol']) {
... TokenJson.abi = output.contracts['TestToken.sol']["TestToken"].abi;
... TokenJson.bytecode = output.contracts['TestToken.sol']["TestToken"].bytecode;
... }
TypeError: Cannot read property 'TestToken.sol' of undefined
please help how to fix the problem, many thanks.
The solc compiler .js file is as below:
var fs = require('fs');
var solc = require('solc');
let contractSource = fs.readFileSync('/root/TestToken/TestToken.sol', 'utf-8');
let jsonContractSource = JSON.stringify({
language: 'Solidity',
sources: {
'TestToken.sol': {
content: contractSource
}
},
settings: {
outputSelection: {
'*': {
'*': [ '*' ]
}
}
}
});
let output = JSON.parse(solc.compile(jsonContractSource));
TokenJson = {
'abi': {},
'bytecode': ''
};
TokenJson.abi = output.contracts['TestToken.sol']["TestToken"].abi;
TokenJson.bytecode = output.contracts['TestToken.sol']["TestToken"].evm.bytecode.object;
fs.writeFile('/root/TestToken/TestToken.json', JSON.stringify(TokenJson), function(err){
if(err)
console.error(err);
})

Check the version of SOLC and the solidity version of your sol files. 'Source file requires different compiler version'
Your sol file version is pragma solidity ^0.5.9; what is your SOLC version...?
